bots and mapcycle

[MacGrath]

hi,

 

i have 2 problems with my dedicated server.

 

1. i have setup my bots with some old q3 config´s. the bots joining the server and fight as normal. so far so good. my problem is the command:

 

bot_nochat

 

it doesn´t work. i set it to "1" but the bot spamming goes on. is the a new variable?

 

2. my mapcycle doesn´t work. first i set up fraglimit "0", timelimit "20" and g_autoMapCycle "1". after the 20 minutes bots fighting so server print something like "exit: timelimit reached" and give the server stats. the server doesn´t load a new map. then i have changed g_autoMapCycle to "0" an edit my server.cfg like this:

 

set d1 "set gametype 0; map ffa_bespin ; set nextmap vstr d2"

set d2 "set gametype 5; map ffa_bespin ; set nextmap vstr d3"

.... and so on

 

vstr d1

 

but the same: message, stats but no mapchange. what did i wrong?

 

thx for helping

Well, the gametype variable is g_gametype for one. I'm not 100% sure that is your problem though. Could you paste your actual config? Sometimes there's an easily overlooked typo in there that causes these problems.

i notice if no real people are playing, the map doesnt change. Anyone else notice that?

[MatrixCPA]

I see you are mixing ffa and duel maps. With a fraglimit of 0, I belive the duels would never end since the fraglimit represents how many times one player must frag the other before players are switched. Is there a particular map where the problem occurs? You might try switching to ffa only maps for a bit.

thank you, nobody give me that hint.

 

ok. the map doesn´t change when only bots are on the server. how can i fix this? is there a possible way?

[MatrixCPA]

As strange as it sounds, why is having the map keep rotating when nobody is playing important? When people show up and play a short bit, it'll rotate.

[striderx2048]

for the whole purpose of simulating a server. that and well, IT SHOULD. Another thing, the server should NOT have wait until everyone click ready, after a short period of time, the map should automatically change, ie. like counter-strike.
